Run your computer in safe mode. To do this, keep tapping F8 which will then allow you to choose what mode you want to boot into. Use your arrow keys and select Safe Mode. Then once your in, go to the internet and download MBAM. Website:http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php .This is a very powerful scanner and it kills viruses and malicious software as if they were ants. I use this scanner instead of my anti-virus because it is so good. Now after you installed it, update it and then do a full scan. Once finished there should be infections listed and remove them all! Then restart your computer and boot up normally and everything should be fine.



If you can provide more information, or have any more questions, please email me via. my profile.

Thanks
